The Brewing Project Double Gunpowder Double India Pale Ale. With Citra, Centennial, Green Tea, Orange Peel and Honey.
10 % ABV. The Brewing Projekt, Eau Claire, WI.
Hazy (of course, naturally), bright golden tone, nearing orange, slim white head.
In the nose: Orange peel sticks out first, then the tea rushes on in. A taste of honey. Some citrusy hop notes lurk below.
In the mouth: Smooth and mellow. The opposite of what I want in a double IPA. Tea flavor pops on top. Citrus kicks in just after. Fairly fuzzy and murky. Alcohol begins its rise. Honey takes a bow. Some good things going on.
I can't get over how unlike the double IPAs that I like this double IPA is. I am still holding out hope that TBP will make one that I like. Couple tries left before I shut the door forever.
I'm moving on to a Sticker Fight next, to reunite me with the style of Double IPA I want to drink.
Even bigger citrusy IPA brewed with green tea.
